The commission of genocide during wartime is recognized as a great threat, since the specified act is aimed at the complete or partial destruction of a certain group. In such conditions, the importance of correctly qualifying the commission of genocide, taking into account all objective and subjective elements of the crime, and determining criminal intent increases.
The article is devoted to the study of conflict-related sexual violence during armed aggression against the state, which is equivalent to the destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, religious group as such, which is a component of a crime against humanity. The Russian invaders have created many victims of criminal offences against peace, human security and international law and order, life and health, humanity, personal integrity and freedom.
Abstract. Since February 24, 2022, russia has engaged in full-scale aggression against Ukraine. Despite the Russian army's failure to achieve the initial goals set by the Kremlin at the beginning of the invasion, the war against Ukraine has persisted for over 600 days. Tragically, it has resulted in the loss of almost 10 thousand civilian lives (excluding data from the occupied territories) and forced approximately 8 million citizens to flee Ukraine.
